<title>ptp: vmw: Convert to a platform driver</title>

<content type='text'>
In all cases in which a struct acpi_driver is used for binding a driver
to an ACPI device object, a corresponding platform device is created by
the ACPI core and that device is regarded as a proper representation of
underlying hardware.  Accordingly, a struct platform_driver should be
used by driver code to bind to that device.  There are multiple reasons
why drivers should not bind directly to ACPI device objects [1].

Overall, it is better to bind drivers to platform devices than to their
ACPI companions, so convert the PTP VMware ACPI driver to a platform
one.

While this is not expected to alter functionality, it changes sysfs
layout and so it will be visible to user space.

<title>ACPI: make remove callback of ACPI driver void</title>

For bus-based driver, device removal is implemented as:
1 device_remove()-&gt;
2   bus-&gt;remove()-&gt;
3     driver-&gt;remove()

Driver core needs no inform from callee(bus driver) about the
result of remove callback. In that case, commit fc7a6209d571
("bus: Make remove callback return void") forces bus_type::remove
be void-returned.

Now we have the situation that both 1 &amp; 2 of calling chain are
void-returned, so it does not make much sense for 3(driver-&gt;remove)
to return non-void to its caller.

So the basic idea behind this change is making remove() callback of
any bus-based driver to be void-returned.

This change, for itself, is for device drivers based on acpi-bus.

A few PTP drivers implement a .adjfreq handler which indicates the
operation is not supported. Convert all of these to .adjfine.

<title>ptp: add VMware virtual PTP clock driver</title>

<content type='text'>
Add a PTP clock driver called ptp_vmw, for guests running on VMware ESXi
hypervisor. The driver attaches to a VMware virtual device called
"precision clock" that provides a mechanism for querying host system time.
Similar to existing virtual PTP clock drivers (e.g. ptp_kvm), ptp_vmw
utilizes the kernel's PTP hardware clock API to implement a clock device
that can be used as a reference in Chrony for synchronizing guest time with
host.

The driver is only applicable to x86 guests running in VMware virtual
machines with precision clock virtual device present. It uses a VMware
specific hypercall mechanism to read time from the device.
